I got up. The window was black, from the darkness outside. The complexity of the night struck me. A Van Gogh quote flitted in my mind, but i couldn't think of what it is. I hate it when I can't remember things, but I want to. As Amy Grant played on my laptop, I could hear Mom speaking to Dad. It was an annoying sound. Randomly, I thought of Holden Caulfield, which I don't know that is a good thing. I wondered if Mom had friends on. I really need to write this essay. I just tried to get this…

On my first day of writing class, I had numerous thoughts going through my head. I was afraid if my weakness will make me fall behind in class or my strengths was not good enough to get me a good grade. Yet the numerous assignments given to me over the quarter help me become a better writer. I think the JITT Posts, Bi-Weekly Refection and The Memoir were the main assignments that had the most important impact on me to become a better writer. When coming to college, I had many opportunities to…

writing styles. Persuasive writing comes easier to me because I can apply passion to my topic and have the ability to share that passion with others. I also can apply emotion that others can relate to and feel I can make a difference and start the process of changing issues like racism, stereotyping, or global warming. I enjoy narrative writing because it is telling a story. I can tell one of my own experience or share one as though I am telling a story to my younger siblings. This style of…

examines exploratory writing and how to write an exploratory essay. Lastly, the chapter demonstrates the writing of annotated bibliographies. As a whole, chapter 7 is important to writing because as described, exploratory essays involve a deeper thought process and don’t immediately settle with the thesis. “Show yourself wrestling with ideas.

1. Discuss at least three ways that evidence/crime scene was mishandled and could have been managed better. One of the main evidence that was mishandled by the prosecution were DNA tests. The state crime lab failed to find any player’s DNA match to the found DNA, so the prosecutor requested a private crime lab to conduct their own tests. Another evidence piece was information from the players’ cell phones. The records showed the contradictions to the victim’s accusations, thus making them false.…

The First Thing I Learned from Issue 3 in the book Understanding Rhetoric Every essay has a massage which might be for the good or bad of the people and every author’s goal is to make people read, understand, and believe his message in that essay. However, sometimes the wrong tone could make a great author look like a fool where a different tone could make him sound more interesting. The superhero in the book Understanding Rhetoric called the tones as “outfits” which can be changed based on…

The editing assignment was very interesting that. Our group’s goal was to make the edit as similar as possible to the original. I thought it would be the easiest way to edit, but it turned out to be much harder to do. Because of our choice, we had to constantly replay and refer to the clip and the script. I do feel like it was a shame that we did not get to use the master shot, and I think we can do a lot more if we choose to use the master shot. One of our biggest challenges was the sound.…

It primarily reflects on the benefits and challenges of these workshops, how they have affected my writing, and the overall impact they…

How did I feel about the book Unlikely Allies? I had lots of difficulty reading the book, from the sudden changes in scenes to the exhausting writing. It felt like a sloppy mess of sudden twists and turns that would, in most books, keep me intrigued, but this did not interest me at all. If the author added just a little bit of flair to the certain parts of the writing then I think I would really enjoy the book. The book had things I didn’t like, a few things I did like, and a couple things I…
